Expanding upon the second link, you can generate an M3U list in your target directory by including a line similar to this:
 +
 
 +
<pre>@tools@\Tag.exe --playlist --sort track --a-artist "@cdartist@" --a-title "@album@" --plname "$artist$ - $album$" *.flac</pre>
 +
 
 +
Though of course you'll need Tag.exe. [http://synthetic-soul.co.uk/tag]. Replace "flac" with the appropriate format where necessary. Put this line in the post-processing section of tracks.cfg (where it may copy the log and where it applies the album gain). For AAC tracks, you may have to use a different line:
 +
 
 +
<pre>@tools@\Tag.exe --playlist --nocheck --a-artist "@cdartist@" --a-title "@album@" --plname "$artist$ - $album$" *.m4a</pre>
 +
 
 +
 
 +
We use the addition of "--nocheck" to force a playlist without extended information, since the latest TAG original will not read m4a tracks.

Please see this post and this post.

Expanding upon the second link, you can generate an M3U list in your target directory by including a line similar to this:

@tools@\Tag.exe --playlist --sort track --a-artist "@cdartist@" --a-title "@album@" --plname "$artist$ - $album$" *.flac

Though of course you'll need Tag.exe. [1]. Replace "flac" with the appropriate format where necessary. Put this line in the post-processing section of tracks.cfg (where it may copy the log and where it applies the album gain). For AAC tracks, you may have to use a different line:

@tools@\Tag.exe --playlist --nocheck --a-artist "@cdartist@" --a-title "@album@" --plname "$artist$ - $album$" *.m4a


We use the addition of "--nocheck" to force a playlist without extended information, since the latest TAG original will not read m4a tracks.
